Yeah I would start SFC's then your regular boltons. After that start saving for a rear end, JMO though.

HOLYSHYT! JEFF! I thought you fell off the face of the earth. Where the hell have you been? You haven't posted on any sites in forever and I know you're not banned from SMC.

What's up with your car? Last I knew, you were buying every part in sight to make it faster, then, nothing. You were gone. I see in your sig you made some nice N/A numbers, but then you say "being rebuilt". Did Verbs motor blow up on you?

Anyway, nice to see you back.

Not really. Our cars are pretty much a twist-o-flex non-frame construction. If you auto-x or drag race they are a useful item to have. One of the guys in the club finally decided to put SFC's on his car after years of bolt on mods and drag racing only to discover that the car was slightly twisted, requiring the use of a 1/4" spacer on the R/H side to weld them in. Do they make the car go any faster? No. Will it help keep the car aligned? Yes, especially if it's a vert or T-top car. BTW, the car I was talking about is a hardtop that runs 11's.

my el camino was a full frame car and it twisted after 6 years with no cage. so just think what a uni-body will do under some good launches?

were cutting 1.40 60fts on a 00 camaro, i would hate to see what the car would look like if it didn't have connectors!!!!!

There are a few people that I know of that are heading out to speedworld this sat. I think I might run the truck and see what she does. Anyone else down to go?

Hey Gary... Naw, Im just not into the F Body scene that much because the car has been down. The engine I bought from Verbs was messed up from the beginning. Im not sure what went wrong either. PLus, no one hangs out like they used to. Later

Well that sucks about the engine. I know it's a cruise for you, but when you get the car back together the lot down here is booming! We finally got a real Tucson scene going. I'm trying to get the Tucson guys to make a run up there, but it doesn't sound like much is going on.

Oh well, TTYL and good luck with the car.
